Alexander's Bed For "A Lifetime"

When it comes to having a baby, safety is number 1. I have researched, read reviews, and tested out so many baby items, myself, that I have become exhausted. It's crazy when you walk into a store and ask the clerk about lead ratings in a crib because you know exactly what you are talking about. Yes, I know my info on lead and cribs. BUT, I am no longer having to shake cribs like a 2 year old or make Vladi jump in them to see if they hold up (joking on the last one). We have ordered Alexander's crib and I love it! (Thank you Grandparents Gomelsky) The crib is a dark cherry lifetime crib that will not break when Alex beats on it. Lifetime means the crib will turn into a toddler bed and a full-size bed with headboard/footboard. It doesn't have a drop side because that scares me with all of the recalls, but instead the company has a patent design where about 5 inches drops on the side and there is no way the baby on the inside or a child on the outside of the crib could open it (because buttons have to be pushed simultaneously). I also like that the company plants 2 trees for every crib sold. We are also helping the environment. We have not received the crib yet, but here is a picture of it. The bedding that we have chosen has many themes that we can use in the nursery ~ ABCs, animals, transportation, colors, sports, and more (the bedding in the picture is not our bedding). I am so excited about our bedding, it is exactly what I dreamed of. I will show the bedding at a later post when we have the nursery almost finished.
